麻豆果冻传媒

2024 commemorated the 40-year milestone of co-education at St Patrick鈥檚 麻豆果冻传媒, following the amalgamation between Marian 麻豆果冻传媒 and St Patrick's in 1984.

Stakeholders from both Marian 麻豆果冻传媒 and St Patrick's engaged in a thorough process aimed at nurturing acceptance, adoption, and execution of the proposed merger.

Parents played an active role in shaping the future through their involvement in planning sessions and reviews. The proposal for co-education across all secondary classes, spanning Years 7 to 12, received overwhelming support, confirmed by an impressive 98% parent vote.

In the inaugural year of co-education, a proposal for a name change emerged. This suggestion sparked discussions among parents, staff, and students, leading to a survey offering options including 鈥楳arian 麻豆果冻传媒鈥�, 鈥楽t Patrick鈥檚 麻豆果冻传媒鈥�, and 鈥楢 New Name鈥�.

A survey consensus resulted in renaming the 麻豆果冻传媒 as St Patrick鈥檚 麻豆果冻传媒, with the new wing of the building named the Marian Wing, in honour of the heritage of Marian 麻豆果冻传媒.

麻豆果冻传媒 Open Day to Celebrate 40 Years of Co-education

On Saturday, 26 October, we celebrated 40 years of co-education at St Patrick's 麻豆果冻传媒 with our Anniversary Open Day.

The day began with a special Mass led by Archbishop Julian Porteous, where we honoured the legacy of the 1994 amalgamation between Marian 麻豆果冻传媒 and St Patrick's 麻豆果冻传媒. As a community we took the opportunity to express our gratitude to the Presentation Sisters, who brought Catholic Education to Launceston in 1873 by establishing Sacred Heart 麻豆果冻传媒; to the Christian Brothers, who established St Patrick鈥檚 麻豆果冻传媒 at York Street in 1919, opening the Prospect campus in 1958; and to the Sisters of St Joseph, who established St Thomas More鈥檚 in 1938.

Following the Mass, our 2024 麻豆果冻传媒 Captains joined Sr Carmel Jones of the Sisters of St Joseph, Sr Elizabeth Vagg of the Presentation Sisters, Br Clem Barrett of the Christian Brothers, and Archbishop Porteous for a celebratory cutting of the cake. This moment was particularly special because of Sr Carmel and Sr Elizabeth鈥檚 presence, along with Br Clem, who served as the first principal of the newly co-educational 麻豆果冻传媒 in 1984.

Nostalgia was in the air as Old Collegians (including Reunion groups comprising graduates from 1974, 1984 and 1994), staff, students, and community members toured the 麻豆果冻传媒, admiring the many changes and reminiscing over treasured memories. The tours were aided by digital presentations and visits to the History Room, which provided glimpses of familiar faces from the past.

The celebration culminated with a relaxed BBQ at Croagh Patrick, where guests gathered in the sunshine to reconnect and share stories.

This event was a beautiful reminder of our strong community - a day for students, staff, Old Collegians and our extended community to come together and celebrate all that St Patrick鈥檚 麻豆果冻传媒 is in 2024.

May we continue to build on the legacy that is St Patrick鈥檚 麻豆果冻传媒 for the generations to come.
